Personal Storage

1. Materials and Components

   • The makeup case is made of wood for its durability and good aesthetic properties.
   • There are also brass hinges and mirror present as part of the design

2. Function

   • The make-up case will neatly house all of my make-up, leaving workspaces neat, tidy and organised.
   • As the makeup case will have a mirror on the front of it, I won't have to go to another room to apply my makeup

3. Form

   • The makeup case will be made up of...
     • An open box, made of attractive softwood, with shelves of the same material installed with housing joints
     • A door made of the same wood, held on by brass hinges and with mirror glued into a specially hollowed space on the front

4. Performance Requirements

   • The case must be sturdy to hold a large amount of makeup without falling apart
   • The case must be aesthetically pleasing - it must look nice in my room

5. User Requirements

   • I myself am the user of this product, so...
     • ...it will have to be aesthetically pleasing
     • ...it should be spacious enough to hold a large quantity of makeup
     • ...it should not be too expensive to make

6. Sustainability

   • As I'm aiming for good aesthetics, manufactured wood isn't my best choice of wood to use for this.
     • So I will use soft wood from responsible sources to make the case, because
       • Soft wood trees grow faster than hard wood trees - softwood is more sustainable
       • Soft wood is easier to work with than hard wood
       • Softwood is cheaper than hardwood
